***If you saw this on the site earlier, it had some major bugs in it. Those bugs are removed and the flash is working! Sorry about that.***

About three months ago.. err.. ok how do I explain how this idea came up? Well, I was sitting on a couch at 4AM in the morning with my friend Alex talking about random flash cartoon ideas. We came up with some pretty ridiculous ideas like "The Party Dinosaur" and ideas like that had me questioning my sexuality... ANYWAY we gave up and decided to go to sleep. About ten minutes later, I woke Alex up and did a little improv skit about the tootsie roll pop commercial. Don't ask why I did an improv skit, I JUST DID OK. So then he threw in some more concepts like that the turtle should have "Mongolian Erectile Dysfunction" and after a few hours of writing this dark comedy on my computer, I voiced everything together in my dorm and BOOM.

Yes that's right, I did all the voice acting in my dorm. Don't ask why I voiced this in my dorm where everyone could hear me, I JUST DID OK. I sent it over to Sh0t-D0wn and after a handful of PMs back and forth it was 90% done. I took the animated movie, took out all the glitches, made a nice little pre-loader, edited some stuff, and abra kadabra the movie was done.

Well, I am so glad that this movie is done! It wouldn't have been possible without the amazing animating talents of Sh0t-d0wn. We have been working on this flash for the past month now and have finally gotten everything together. After crashing over 50 times, here is the final outcome!

Reviews

Its not all thetime that one comes across a flash submission like this one, its somewhat differant but has an exciting feel and touch here, As soon as this started it was something unique and differant ofcourse but thats more on the plus side of things. OK so now as i get into the review, i like what you have done here, it is for sure something "UNIQUE" and differant, one issue i didnt like much was the twelve mega bites this flash has, its not a bad thing because i know you want to get alot of info and content in there but maybe theres a way you can cut down on a large file such as this maybe some small details here and there, maybe something else, maybe even condensing the submission into a couple of parts or something. and once again i must say that was a pretty good entry something differant but i liked it for what it is, Wish there was more like this, but for what it is, its pretty interesting and entertaining ofcourse, but with all that said i hope to see more stuff from you eventually.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
And so that brings us to some improvments, not always my fave part of the review but its good to have some new ideas jumping around and such, So i will do my best to suggest some new ideas maybe even some inspiration, and hope the ideasdo help, so here are some ideas, cut down on a large file such as this maybe some small details here and there, maybe something else, maybe even condensing the submission into a couple of parts or something.

Woah, I had no idea there was such a deranged cartoon as this out there! I freaking fell in love with this cartoon because of how insane it was. The animation is completely flawless, there's always something going on in every single frame. It's simply hilarious that the owl has gone so insane from being asked that so many times. The voice acting is also completely flawless. I especially love how exaggerated everything is.

It's cool to see how these heads and faces just spin around everywhere. In case you're wondering, I have actually myself found out how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop! I did it one morning when I had nothing else to do. I counted 1,376 licks! Of course, I imagine that it varies from person to person depending on what kind of tongue they have. I love how it didn't end with the owl the first time.

Im glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it is indeed very exaggerated. We really wanted to turn the old commercial into a deranged farce against something seemingly innocent. We wanted it to be twisted and unique. I think Sh0t-Down and I made a very good team, since we are both batshit crazy. My friend Alex and I laughed at every idea when crafting this strange world around this strange kid who asks a strange question to strange animals. We were really proud of the outcome. Thanks for your comments!
